This is the third article in our series to help you unlock some of the technical gargon, associated with the Duplciation process.
Artwork Files:
Beware, we are now moving into the area of artwork and the word image no longer relates to a disc image! When talking about artwork, and image is simply a picture, a graphic or photograph
PDF
PDF stands for “portable document format.” Adobe Systems designed this format, which has become the standard for exchanging electronic documents. Its a very complex and powerful format used extensively in artwork design and printing, perfect for supplying your artwork supporting the other artwork formats below, as well as special print formats, colours and vector graphics.
JPEG, TIFF, and PNG
These image formats are ideal for photos and similar images containing many colours offering good quality and acceptable sizes are possible. The quality / file size of a jpeg can be altered through the use of compression.
The three formats all vary slightly in the way they apply compression to the images, each with its own advantages. For printing its best to keep the compression at a minimum so the files are larger and better quality.
PSD
This format is only used by the graphics programs Photoshop. The files are generally large and contain lots of additional information and layers which are not needed for print. The complexity of the files make them perfect for editing and designing, BUT not ideal for printing. You should save your artwork to PDF or JPEG when ready to submit for printing.
To learn more about artwork formats this article is a good place to start, offering beginner guides to the various types: Further information on artwork formats.

I thought would just let you know about the extremely low price on our single card wallets.
For the Eco-Friendly Professional Product at an amazing price you should consider these.
For sales at gigs these are nice and robust ( no platic to break) and light to transport around, and for posting out to fans or customers these are lightweight, just needing a large letter stamp…possibly a small letter stamp depending on your envelope!
They are printed in colour on 350 gsm Sustainably Sourced and Fsc Certified silk finish card & you have the option to have these cellobagged for the completely prosessional finish and for sales online.
The template for this is nice and straightforward and you can download it in pdf from our artwork section here:
https://www.duplicationcentre.co.uk/files/artwork/pdf/cardboard_wallet.pdf
It is also available in photoshop in the artwork section.
If you would like to have a sample sent to you just drop me an email with your postal address:
una@duplicationcentre.co.uk
You can get a price on our instant price calculator here:
https://www.duplicationcentre.co.uk/prices.html
An example for you is: CD, Colour print on body packed in a colour single card wallet is £1.14 per unit ex vat.
So you can sell these for as low as a few pounds and still make a good return.

We offer both soft ( electronic) and hard copy proofs to you, free of charge.
Some customers just want to visualise or in the case of a hard copy, see the quality of their order and how it will actually look when printed.
So for example this customer wanted to see the colour match of his disc to the digipak:
It can be the case that printed parts will not exactly match the colour of the same colour upload, when its printed on a disc…just the fact that they are printed on different mediums can affect the tone of the colour sometimes.
In the case of a hard copy proof we print 2 copies and hold 1 here as a control and post the other to you by Royal Mail.
You then have the option to approve straight away if you are happy with the print or to alter it by uploading new artwork to us.
We will always work with you to get the best result possible for your order.
Not everyone wants or needs this so if you do, just need to mention that you would like this in the notes (which is a free field text section) as you check out.
We have all sorts of other advice in our artwork section here:
https://www.duplicationcentre.co.uk/artwork.html
Or you can call us on 01702 530354 and we will be happy to help you.
